So i have this theory, that shitty things mostly happen to the nicer kinder people. Shitty people.. and i mean the vicious malicious kind, often have better luck. Hear me out here.. im not saying go be an asshole to the world.. but maybe just maybe " being the best person you can be" causes the balance to shift therefore attracting more chaos into your life. Maybe just maybe.. sometimes mistakes are meant to be made and that balances out the rest. 🤔 Maybe it's ok to make some bad decisions 🤷‍♀️as long as you are not out there killing and hurting people willingly and i dont mean 21st century butthurt. I mean physical and mental abuse. So if i dont Iike your outfit heather... im not really hurting you, chill out. 😂✌ #balance#yingyang

RIP to my tan. It was fun while it lasted 🌴💔
Resuming my ghost lifestyle as of now.

Client video ⭐️ .
I have been really enjoying working with Kevin for the last month now where he has shown real improvements in different components of fitness, a positive mindset and an ease in day to day activities due to the training we have done. There will be a lot more big improvements to occur over the next few months that me and Kevin will be looking forward to witnessing.

In this video here you can see the change from standing lunges (video 1) into walking lunges (video 2) using dumbbells. This was a big progression from the first week as there was only limited range of motion for the knee to get to the floor and also a balance issue. Now this has progressed due to the improvements of balance, coordination, core stability and strength which can be seen 💪🏼 .

I have to get real here!!! You seen seen my transformation pictures. You faithfully see me working out everyday but what you don’t see is my mommy rolls.

See this mom BOD? This one is mine and I own it proudly! This body here as you see has given birth to 3 amazing babies, So far for me being 15 months post baby #3 and only having these little rolls...I’m pretty damn proud of this body that I’m busting my ass on.💕 I workout 6 days a week. I eat junk food occasionally.I have a busy life with work, military, being a mom and wife.The list goes on..the one thing in that list that’s non-negotiable is my health and fitness.

Real vs Fake

Don’t compare yourself to others. Often photos are edited, staged, and filters added that don’t always show the truth. I work hard and eat healthy most of the time and still have rolls. I’m ok with this and have learned to embrace it. I have rolls and guess what?!! I DONT GIVE A FUCK!!! Instead of comparing yourself to me or others..Join me and Compare yourself to you.. Start by taking that step and making that choice to become a better version of you. Only you have control of that.

Today is a powerful day of renewal: the Spring Equinox! Take advantage of today's transformative energy with these 3 Ayurvedic tips to reset and revitalize:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
📿 Invoke the power of 108 – 108 is a sacred number in the Vedic tradition that represents the wholeness of existence. Many yogis welcome the spring equinox by practicing 108 sun salutations, which cleanses the mind and body as the repetitive movement takes on a meditative quality. Or, try a meditation using a mala, which traditionally has 108 beads, to experience the same sensation of making space for renewal.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌿 Plant some seeds – Ayurveda teaches that every thought carries an energy that can either raise our vibration or lower it. This spring, plant some physical as well as mental seeds, but don't expect to plant cucumbers and hope for strawberries. If you constantly think "I'll never get the job," or "I'm not good enough," that's exactly what you can expect to manifest. Make it a practice to think positively, and watch as beauty sprouts in the garden of your life.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🧘‍♀️ Create your own cleanse – You've heard of spring cleaning, but how can you personalize it to cleanse physically, emotionally, or spiritually? Maybe you've always wanted to go vegan, or you're ready to commit to a 15-minute daily meditation. Today is the perfect day to take the plunge.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Why I love the practice? Aside from the more obvious benefits to breathing more intentionally and the physical well-being, it really can be a mirror for how I show up for my life “off the mat.” How do I respond when I feel like I’m losing balance?
Do I hold on tighter or give up?
Do I keep trying to do the same thing over and over again, or quit trying to fit a square peg into a round hole and try something else?
How can I get back to using this practice to build emotional intelligence, integrity, into the rest of life?

How can I LIVE my yoga?

The interesting part is I’ve been practicing less often (temporarily) and really focusing on seeing the “how to” around taking these questions 👆 off my mat...placing myself into scenarios that test balance, test that calm. I’m a big believer in “the quotes are only as good as the actions you take on them.” And I try as much as I can to go out and test that out in less than ideal situations: because it’s always easy when it’s easy but that isn’t growth.

So get out there! Try something new, test your balance, start that side hustle, go get outside of your comfort...and #livemore .
